it’s been a spiritually challenging time. God is really earnestly and blatantly pointing out to me the sins in my life and the sins of those around me.
i, for one, fail time and time again. this is a true and sobering reminder.
Romans 6 :17,18..says “but thanks be to God that…you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became SLAVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Since the day i was converted i have been daily called by God to surrender as slaves to do whatever this righteousness dictates.
God’s Word directs me to be holy; and what results from my obedience to His rule is SANCTIFICATION, or holiness of life.
Therefore, SANCTIFICATION is a lifelong process where I JOYFULLY SURRENDER myself to God’s imputed righteousness and then do whatever this righteousness directs me to do.
Indeed, God has clothed me with His righteousness and now He wants this righteousness to MASTER me.
So, the MORE i exult in the reality of my justification in Christ, the more I position myself to experience the full governing force of its sanctifying power in my life.
And the MORE sanctified I become, the MORE I experience the full breadth of eternal life that God has given me in Christ!!
AMEN.
